moisture in Z2 camera lens

[chucklzsmiley]

Well i recieved my z2 yesterday and immediately and possibly stupidly wanted to test the waterproof aspect of it, i dunked it in a bowl of cold water for no more than 30 seconds however i more have moisture in my camera lens. I've let it try and dry out even left it in rice all last night with the flaps open and the moisture is still there, thing is the flaps were sealed properly so i have no idea why this has happened. Just hoping i haven't knacked the phone on the first day if having it, any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks

Sorry to hear that, open all the covers > remove both SIM and SD cards > place your phone inside a bowl with rice and let it sit for 1 or 2 days

You have to contact your local Sony

I tried the rice thing overnight and it made no difference, you think leaving it longer would help? I'm hoping to get a replacement from my carrier yet

It could help, you should request a vacuum test

I have the exact same problem. I did not even submerge the phone. I just washed it under a very gentle beam. All flaps were closed, and there are no signs of water intrusion or malfunction aside from moisture within the lens.

Here is a picture of the disaster:

My flap for the memory card doesnt have a snug fit at all, i can just tuch it gently and it will almost fall out of its position.
On z1 you could really feel the snug fit.

I wouldn't bother trying to dry the phone out. Just return it for a replacement. After all one of it's key features is that it it IP58 rated and if it fails a small dunk or gentle wash then the phone is defective.

A kudos to Sony. I had the same issue as the OP, but had taken a video of my testing the phone in water that proved that I had the hatches closed and showed where the leak was. After some issues getting the paperwork to send it in, I had a replacement unit within a few days. Tested it and so far so good. Thanks Sony!
